    Where France was this mystical far-off exotic foreign land where romance is everywhere, the food is sublime, and every moment there is like a painting from the romanticist or impressionist art periods - when in reality France is rather mundane.

    In Japan, disappointment with France was so strong and so common that it got a special name.

    Having lived in Japan myself and having visited Europe a few times, I've gotta say there isn't much for anyone in a developed Asian country to get from visiting the west. Pretty much everything over there is better even after you remove the "greener grass" filter and acknowledge the problems those places have.

      yep spending plenty of time in Korea, and visiting a lot of the western europe countries, I'd have to agree. The only thing I wish Korea would change, outside of politics, is their bread culture. That shit looks yankee cake-bread look rustic, holy shit lmao.
